"Two Kinds" Before You Read: Something You Don't Want to Do
I was at a lake a time ago and I climbed a really big tree that had a little board you could stand on when you get up top. I really wanted to do it at first but once I got up I did not want to jump down after that. I felt frightened because I didn't think it was going to be that high and I'm also kind of scared of hights so it made everything even worse. After all the thinking I went through I had to jump no matter what because there was no climbing back down because I would run the risk of falling all that way down. This was resolved by jumping down, then keeping my eyes closed till right before I hit the water. As soon as I got up and out of the water I knew I wasnt going to do that again but sure enough I climbed right back up and did it again.

Why did you climb back up? Was it fun? Did your friends or brother pressure you?
ReplyDeleteWho expected you to jump off of it? I alwasy wanted to jump off of a tree into a lake, I hope I do in the future.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this. I felt like I was right there with you! Isn't it a good feeling to overcome your fear?...maybe that's why you did it again?
